A couple of weeks ago I posted about the app jovie no launching as a normal user .
But you haven't provided a link to the previous thread and searching for 'screen reader' or 'jovie' returns nothing. So I have no idea what your problem really is.
Jovie is the kde interface for screen readers and replaces ktts. I received no replies. I then attempted to open jovie as root and received this message.
I'm not knowledgeable about either KDE or screen readers, which is most likely why I didn't respond to your previous thread. But I'm not clear why you tried to start jovie as root? A quick look at http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Text-To-Speech shows that it is intended to be started under your normal login. So IMHO you should concentrate on tryiing to discover why that is not working rather than trying to get it to start in a way that it is not designed for.
Since I couldn't get jovie to open I decided to install orca. The installation required changing and/or adding about 50 packagess. Upon attempting to open orca I received the following message:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ob@Easystreet:~> orca /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gi/overrides/Gtk.py:47: RuntimeWarning: You have imported the Gtk 2.0 module. Because Gtk 2.0 was not designed for use with introspection some of the interfaces and API will fail. As such this is not supported by the pygobject development team and we encourage you to port your app to Gtk 3 or greater. PyGTK is the recomended python module to use with Gtk 2.0 warnings.warn(warn_msg, RuntimeWarning)
OK, I think that says that the version of orca that you have is not compatible with the version of python that you have. I presume that you have the standard version of python that came with 12.2. You need to check whether there is a 'official' version of orca for 12.2 and whether that is the one that you have. IF so, report back the details and somebody can help you diagnose the problem. If not, then try to find a compatible version of orca. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
